Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Dec 22
The 2017 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is a blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.3% Cabernet Franc, and 1.7% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet in color, it needs a little coaxing to uncover notions of stewed red plums, boysenberry preserves, and black raspberries, plus touches of mossy tree bark, black olives, and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers tight-knit black and red berry layers with a finely grained texture and bold freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 20
The 2017 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is a pretty wine, but it also remains a bit lacking in both depth and overall structure. In many vintages, Clarence can be a sort of mini Haut-Brion, but the 2017 is decidedly light. Sweet floral, spice and tobacco notes open up nicely, but there is no getting past the wine's rather modest depth and compact finish.
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2027
Pessac-Léognan Fine Wine

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
